Compassion can be thought of as full emotional engagement with the other,
as in suffering with them,
where you experience little if any separation between you and the
other person, animal, plant, or character.
Their suffering is your suffering. It's a single universal, transcendently
shared, emotional experience.

Poems about Life |

We've noticed that people who have failed are more generous with
their compassion,
more extravagant with their love, and less inhibited in their expressions
of both. I think it's because these people spend less time caring about
what their lives
look like and more time figuring out what their lives are about.

Self-compassion is a crucial practice for parents. If we continually give
to others without nurturing ourselves, our emotional gas tank will
be stuck on empty. By nurturing and supporting ourselves,
we will have more emotional resources to give to our children.
By forgiving ourselves for the inevitable mistakes we make as
parents - remembering we're only human and doing the best we
can - we won't waste precious energy beating ourselves up.
Kim Fredrickson, Give Your Kids a Break
Mistake |

When it comes to long-term success, the "right" emotions are principally
these: gratitude, compassion, and pride. These emotions, unlike basic
feelings of happiness, sadness, anger, or fear, are intrinsically tied to
social life, and that provides the key to their effectiveness. At base,
social living regularly requires a willingness to accept costs in the moment
to ensure better days ahead.
David DeSteno, Emotional Success
Encouraging Poems |

I adore humans - – I carry an unabashed love for the victors who made
it through their pain, and as well for the perpetrators who created it.
Evil has no power over the compassion I feel for humanity.
My prayer is that we as a species will survive this narrow entrance
into the next age, and that many more of us will touch the sweet spot
of our humility.
Debra Silverman, The Missing Element
Prayer Poems |

The human greed and fear that are causing much of the suffering
seem out of control. But when our hearts open in the midst of this,
we want to help. This is the experience of compassion.
Compassion is the tender opening of our hearts to pain and suffering.
When compassion arises in us, we see and acknowledge what we
often push away - away - the parts of life that cause us sadness,
anger, or outrage.
Ram Dass, Compassion in Action
Fear |
